‘Plugged In’ pulls plug on TV viewing

Last week a little girl
named Mission watched so
much T.V. that she literally
overdosed and had to be
rushed to the hospital.

No, this wasn't real. It was
all part of the Capilano
Summerplayers’ production
“Plugged In” which five
theatre students from
Capilano College are per-
forming free in locations

throughout, the Lower
Mainianc.
“Plugged In” has been

especially created by the
Summerplayers to deal with
children and their
relationship to television

Taste \

through improvisation and
other creative drama
techniques. The _— story
centres on Mission's struggle
to overcome her TV ob-
session in favour of reading,

friendship, and the
development of her
imagination.

Designed to appeal to all
ages, “Plugged In” has

proven popular with both
children and their parents.
“It appeals to adults who are

interested in children,”
explained Michele
Reynolds, Company

Manager.“A lot of adults
have come backstage af-

ur

terwards and handed us
articles about what we've
been saying. They're quite
receptive.”

The company has gone
many performances but the
players were particularly
pleased with their success at
the Sea Festival. In spite of
all the other distractions
there, passersby stopped and
watched the play for its full
45 minutes.

“PLugged In” has been
touring libranes, community
centres, parks, recreation
centres and other locations
both indoors and
out.Anyone interested = in
